Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Non-standardized houses?

[Robert Heinich (robert]

Cindy,

In our area, two cohousing communities, Arcadia and Solterra, have  
architectural guidelines and every house is unique.

Are you sure you want to head in that direction?  Here at Eno Commons,  
we only had two house designs (cost saving) and we went with a  
production builder (another cost saving).  However, I do not believe  
our community has a cookie-cutter feel.
